Vegan Diet

A vegan diet utilizes only plant sources for food and nutrients, and excludes all animal products. Vegans do not eat meat, fish, eggs, or dairy products. Vegans tend to be healthier, thinner, have lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and have decreased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. A study reported in the New York Times found that none of the foods that were associated with weight gain would ever be in a vegan diet. If you are interested in trying to lose weight on a vegan diet, make sure you understand what the diet entails and how to make sure you get all the nutrients you need.
